Hello from new member with Hepatitis C...

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

First let me say that I was extremely happy to find such an active

group of Herbal Medicine folks!

 

Here's my story...Infected via transfusion with Hepatitis C in 1989.

Dx after much fatique, and saw a poster on my MD's wall while there

to see why I had *Chronic Fatique* syndrome. Thank goodness this

poster was there explaining who should be tested.

 

This all took place in 2001, and since then I've decided to go with

an Alternative way of treating this bug due to the fact I had all

NORMAL blodwork. If I hadn't seen that poster, I'd still may be on

the latest anti-depressant, or whatever...(my MD tried everything)

I say thank you to *fate* for the day I was placed in the room at far

end of the Dr's office with that poster!

 

Funny how the mind body connection kicked in, and my liver area

really started hurting after being dx. This problem made me give in

to removal of my :::shudder::: gallbladder! Wish I didn't know now

what I didn't know then! darn...Since then my enzymes have gone up a

bit to the high/normal range.....double darnit! I miss my gallbladder!

 

Anyway, I've tried a couple of TCM formulas and found some relief

from the fatique, but would really like to try some decocting on my

own with herbs. I've dabbled a bit with Schisandra, Picrorhiza,

Phylannthus, and Sophora Root. Not all together of course.

 

I have 3 busy children, and just can't bring myself to go on

Interferon tx for a year with a low response rate, and take the

chance of mutating these little bugs that have taken up home in my

liver.

 

Most days I feel pretty good, but still have bout of fatique, and

loose stools with undigested food at times. I just started taking

Kefir, and hope this will help with the bowel problem. I've tried

digestive enzymes in the past, and had a weird reaction to them.

 

Also, any input on the best Immunomodulators is appreciated. I don't

want to take anything that may supercharge this immune system, as

that can be just what this virus wants to kick in with. I've studied

every aspect of this junk, and am just about *full of the

internet...lol

 

I've been to a couple of TCM prationers, a DO that practices

Integrative Medicine, and a couple of ND's. Many different opinions

too. I have middle of the road damage on my liver, and hope to heal

it completely someday. Organic foods, cosmetics, and diet are part of

my new healthy lifestyle also.

 

Feel free to email, or post with any information.

 

Thanks for reading this, and thanks for any info!

 

Well wishes to all,

Christina :^ )

Hi Christina,

 

First, I just wanted to mention that this group is moderated, so posts

may take a while to get to the group. (Not too long, though as we have a

very active group of moderators!) The only reason a post would not be

approved is if it violated any of the group policies. Very unusual,

however, as we have such a great group!

 

Anyway, I highly recommend that you get Doc's free lecture (from

www.academyofnaturalhealing.com) and when you've listened to that, call

him for your free consultation. If I were you I'd be doing the Total

Body Cleanse, BIG TIME! It would do worlds of wonder for you.

 

Best,

Kelli
